This was just OK. It''s probably 10 to 20 minutes longer than it should have been, the drone shots were getting on my nerves after the 1 hour mark. The documentary is nice but does not offer a lot of insight. I didn''t know much about Jack''s stint in Ireland so the movie was informational to me, but nothing you couldn''t glean out of the Ireland section of Jack''s Wikipedia page, save for maybe the bits about his relationship with his brother and Paul McGrath. For the nostalgic or the uninformed this is a decent docu, anybody else... find something else to watch.
